 * Hi, thanks for the plugin!
 * It was working ok, then I entered a new piece of code, when applied I got the
   following message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘, expecting end of
   file in …/wp-content/plugins/my-custom-functions/inc/php/functional.php(85) :
   eval()’d code on line 11
 * I realized there was an error in the code, so I tried to delete it but it wont
   save changes just gave me the same php error white page. So I deleted the whole
   plugin dir and reinstalled the plugin from a freshly downloaded zip, but when
   trying to activate it I get it can’t be activated because of the same php error
   message.
 * Since it was a fresh, clean install (deleted dir), then I guess is something 
   else and not the piece of code that trigger the first warning what is causing
   the error. Because it doesn’t save user’s codes in the DB right?.
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-error-257%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@egocefalo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egocefalo/) Hi,
 * You are mistaken, the user’s PHP code is stored in the database. So by deleting
   the files of plugin you do not delete user’s code.
 * The error message indicates a syntax error on line 11 of your PHP code. Most 
   likely, you incorrectly use a combination of PHP and HTML code.
 * Please read the instructions [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/instruction-error/)
   and all will be fine.
 * Have a nice day! 🙂
